  1. do you need some help with your assignment?
  2. Last year or so this was happening in the area; Charter (North) briefed the students and enforcement officers were out and about. I don't know if the schools have been informed - I've not been aware of any comms.
  3. just found out they keep cctv footage for 14 days. Sooner the better though and they can get an update from the driver
  4. they watch you
  5. dogs bark for lots of reasons but if not having adequate shelter, food, company this would be neglect.
  6. can you go round and ask people - and narrow it down before finding it??
  7. Please get in touch with Transport for London and report this. They have cctv and the driver will need to provide a report, which you can give to the police. Call them urgently as I don't know how long they keep cctv for. I am sorry that your son and his girlfriend had to endure this. It must have been frightening. I hope he recovers and they can both feel safe again.
  8. sounds like things are starting to turn around for you :-)
  9. Put a little speaker really close to the fence and play Celine Dion My Heart Will Go On (Titanic) on repeat. They will find somewhere else to go. Although you may end up never speaking. Better yet, just have a chat with them. It may not have crossed their minds. Try the obvious and easy option first.
  10. Dogs do like to chase. Sorry to hear you've been hurt. Extremely bad manners on behalf of the owners, as they should be teaching their dogs how to behave. Our park is extremely chilled out but a bit small for running
  11. are you seriously putting that forward? you're more concerned about yourself because the dog was not under control? The issue really is the gate that is open. We need to look after each other, not berate them for an accident. I'd seen the gate before but one expects parks to be safe.
  12. I don't know, Sue. Both times I've posted it the dog has been inside straight after. Can't really be a coincidence.
  13. Magically, the dog has now been taken inside BUT I now know the house number, am keeping a log and reporting you. I know you know who you are.
  14. Poor mite is outside again all day today, and every day this week. Does anyone know the number of the property? We're off out to take a look and will do until we find it - and then we're reporting them.
  15. if you have parakeets, song birds will stay away. I'd rather have the little birds in our trees and the little robins who visit when i go outside.
  16. They came to us too. The child looked about 7, maybe a little younger. I didn't give them anything, mainly as it didn't seem right and I probably should have probed but was just arriving home and was dealing with my daughter who was trying to manage the situation (should not have opened the door)
  17. I think it just takes time - longer than you think. I also had the same dilemma but it all just worked out. It took around 3 months for the cats to get used to our rescue dog and now they're all fine. I do wish you well

  19. hello DiD I've followed your post with interest. It could have been written by me! We took in a cat from the forum, a woman who couldn't look after it - she then told us she had taken it in as a stray. She moved into the upstairs and our other cat lived downstairs, it was this was for around 6 months before they integrated. She was quite vicious, would swipe at your feet as you walked past and I would end up with a cat attached to my feet. My daughter was scared of walking past her. The cat was clearly not used to living in a home. Now, she's fine and very loving but independent. She will still "get me" if I stroke her - no way of guessing when she'll have had enough, sometime she's fine, other times she just attacks my hands - but still normal cat behaviour. I brush her a lot too, she likes that. I tell her NO when she scratches me and she stops. I trim her claws too. First time, wrapped her in a towel and had help to hold her - it actually seemed to calm her down. I suppose what calmed her down was that we still included her - so we say No to scratching, but would get something for her to play with instead. Gentle persistence and consistent behaviour - and treats. I think she needs to learn to trust you and is probably still adjusting. I would make sure she has somewhere high up to escape to, plenty of treats when she's good (they are intelligent and do know, if you teach them what is and isn't ok). The fellway plug in is great.
  20. have the gates been reported as being unsecurable?
  21. no, I don't think it's a default position to not trust anyone, but you should always be wary. People are motivated by money and if someone has asked you something that involves you giving them something of value then you should be careful. Lottery scams are not new.
  22. https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/repairs/pests_and_vermin_infestations_in_rented_homes The landlord is responsible for making sure the property is secure, so you are not able to pass this off on your tenants.
  23. Basically, they tell you they have won but cannot collect because not British. They offer to share the winnings with you if you collect on their behalf but they want some security from you so you don't run off with the ticket. You have to remember, they are very very good at tricking people so you really have to nt trust people. They target vulnerable people. Greedy, maybe - but they can be convincing.
  24. let the nursery know - they will need to change the security code.
  25. Thank you, I did and they were touched - it has made a big difference. It's a very important message that this is not acceptable and quite horrific (and not just mum saying that but people in our community too).
